Testimonial for Mel Kennedy

Hi Mel served as our student midwife throughout my pregnancy and already had a special connection with my husband and I before the birth of our son. Throughout preparation for birth they paid special attention to my husband who was expressing some worry and anxiety over the birthing process assuring him everything would be in good hands and redirected his energy. They also gave special love to our family dog who is like our first born fur-child who was also in need of extra love before the arrival. This put everyone involved at ease and allowed me to focus on getting our son here without a hitch. After birth, my son and I needed lactation assistance. Mel provided me with warmth, love and her extensive knowledge to assist in getting breastfeeding off to a solid start when I was struggling. This assistance continued a few months after his birth when I was still struggling with feeding. Mel came to our home postpartum and witnessed our feeding routine and assisted me with the breastfeeding issues I was encountering. I was left with knowledge, peace of mind and comfort after their visit. I cannot recommend Mel enough to everyone I speak to. Mel is encouraging, knowledgeable and comforting. I cannot imagine a future pregnancy without Mel being involved - they have made a lasting impact on our family and we can't thank them enough for their support and love throughout this life changing experience.
